Objective. Accurate heart rate (HR) determination during neonatal resuscitation (NR) informs subsequent NR actions. This study's objective was to evaluate HR determination timeliness, communication, and accuracy during high fidelity NR simulations that house officers completed during neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) rotations. Methods. In 2010, house officers in NICU rotations completed high...

Errors in clinical research can be costly, in terms of patient safety, data integrity, and data collection. Data inaccuracy in early subjects of a clinical study may be associated with problems in the design of the protocol, procedures, and data collection tools. High-fidelity patient simulation centers provide an ideal environment to apply human-centered design to clinical trial development. A...

UNLABELLED Clinical simulation has emerged as a powerful new tool for the learning and assessment of different skills and attitudes in patient care, by using innovative technology such as high fidelity simulators (HFS). OBJECTIVE To describe the current state of high fidelity clinical simulation in Spain and its principal characteristics. METHODS Descriptive observational study that analyze...

Abstract As a classic problem in oceanographic and coastal engineering hydrodynamics, solitary wave propagation is used to benchmark novel high-fidelity numerical model based on the Navier–Stokes equations. The combines Finite Volume method Merged Stencil with 3rd-order reconstruction (FVMS3) Tangent of Hyperbola for INterface Capturing Quadratic surface representation Gaussian Quadrature (THIN...

OBJECTIVE To determine if high fidelity simulation based team training can improve clinical team performance when added to an existing didactic teamwork curriculum. SETTING Level 1 trauma center and academic emergency medicine training program. PARTICIPANTS Emergency department (ED) staff including nurses, technicians, emergency medicine residents, and attending physicians. INTERVENTION E...
